Andy Walls' change of email address

Andy Walls' change of email address

[Andy Walls]

All,

As a consequence of moving myself into the 21st century by obtaining
cable internet service, I have a new e-mail address:

	awalls md.metrocast.net

My radix.net email address will soon cease working.

Regards,
Andy

of course it is not my job, but I wonder why you not
stay on old email. In 21 century there is no problem
to move domain to other place or, at least, do
some type of forwarding :)

My 2 cents

PS: The only real reason I can imagine is that radix.com
is not your own domain and owner of it doesn't allow
mail forwarding.

Which is, indeed, what one finds by pointing a browser at www.radix.net;
that mailbox belongs to his old ISP, and presumably he doesn't want to keep
paying them for it.

It might be worth your while, though, Andy, as active as you are in the
development community (and thanks again for it) to ask them if they'd forward
that address for a while, for a nominal charge...  I used to do it, when I 
ran a small dialup ISP...

TBH I would imagine radix.net can be proud if so well-know developer
is using theirs domain. May be they would pay for his advertising :)

Radix.net by default does forwarding for 30 days.

Yes.  The value of keeping my old address, to me, is not worth the
periodic charge to keep it active.  A simple case of cost vs. benefit
not meeting my threshold.

Thank you. :)  I never asked them. 

Quite honestly I think Radix is a great local ISP.  One of the first to
provide real coverage to Southern Maryland, IIRC.  I think local ISPs
provide the better customer service, and Radix.net was no exception.
